FUN NIGHT OUT WITH THE GIRLS!

It was my friend Mary's birthday the other night, so a bunch of us got together to celebrate her 39th birthday! Just to give you a little history, I met Mary at church almost eight years ago! Little did I know that our friendship would have taken off from there! This lady has a heart that is always on fire for the Lord! She started discipling me about a year after I met her, and for that, I will always be grateful. She is those kinds of friends that no matter what she's doing, you can call her for prayer and she will pray for you right on the spot! She just has that heart for women to have that close, intimate relationship with the Lord!

On the other hand, out of all my friends, she is the one that I can be super crazy with!! Oh my gosh, when we get together, I know that I'm going to leave with a headache from laughing with her the entire time! The only thing that sucks is that two years ago, her husband (who is a pastor) planted a church near their home, so I only see her once every few weeks, and on special occasions like this! But, she's never too far...thank God for Facebook too..LOL! Oh..and before I sound too dramatic, we only live about 20 minutes away from each other..hehe!

So, Sara, one of the ladies at her church planned a night out for all of us! We all met up for dinner at Red Robin, then went over to the theater to watch Earth, and finally ended the night at Sara's house for cake and coffee!! I'm getting old, I started yawning at 10 o'clock!

Mary & me!
